Everyone Communicates, but Few Connect: Effectively Engaging Today’s Learner

Instructors set the tone in the classroom with their approach to their work and students; through their actions, instructors communicate their character, credibility, and convictions. Research has shown that engagement in today’s classroom requires a shift from traditional pedagogy, that students now respond to how instructors make them feel rather than what they say. This means that in order to be an effective instructor, educators must learn how to connect with their students. During this webinar, participants learn how to identify and relate to all types of students and to forge connections that inspire trust, motivate hard work, and generate positive momentum in the classroom.

  • Build a heartfelt rapport with students.
